Omnisphere 2.5 Features:

Now includes over 14,000 inspiring sounds for all types of music production.

Omnisphere 2 has replaced all my outboard gear. I've been producing electronic music, professionally for over 15 years and find that it's much quicker and easier to work "inside the box". The sound I get from this beast is just as good, if not better than any of the analog gear I used to own, and for much less the cost. Full disclosure, I create 3rd party patches for Omnisphere, so I've had years to dive deep into it. And since it keeps getting better with improvements (all of which are free to registered users), I don't have to worry about it becoming outdated or obsolete at some future point.

I'm still hoping Omnisphere will offer MIDI output of the Live (gated to delay to the next bar, 8th, or 16th) notes, so I can edit them. That would make Omnisphere the ultimate composing tool for me. I'm not a very accurate keyboardist, and I'm always excited to play into Live mode with it correcting my sloppiness. But I want to go in and edit the stuff; but of course its not the more accurate stuff you hear, its the sloppy stuff.

Ableton, on the other hand, lets you quantize the MIDI you play, but it does this for the recorded notes, without letting you hear it. So you don't have those inspirational moments when you know you've hit upon an idea. Cuz all you hear is your sloppiness.

since 2.5 when i load a sound in omnisphere sometime nuendo stop all sounds from all tracks. Timeline can still play but no tracks send audio although containing audio. (not and automation / mute / assignation / asio problem).

I bought Omnisphere 2 and it's a great product. Unfortunately I downloaded and installed 2.5 without realizing it wouldn't work on my 32-bit Ableton Live 9.7 (Windows 7 64-bit version).

I don't want to go to 64-bit Live since that's a huge goat screw I don't want to get into. I was able to de-install 2.5 and re-install 2.4.2 and corresponding libraries, and 2.4.2 is working OK but for some reason 2.5 patches are still showing up in the Omni browser. They are useless to me, I can filter them out but can't get the filter to persist, would rather just delete all the 2.5 patches.
